Howe Waterproof Multi-Activity Gloves

About this find

The Sealskinz Howe Waterproof Multi-Activity Gloves are full-finger, unisex gloves built for snowsports. They use a 3-layer construction with Aquasealz technology for warmth, durability and waterproofing. Fusion Control technology bonds those three layers together to balance waterproofing, insulation and breathability, which gives a close fit with great dexterity and control when you handle poles or gear.

The outer fabric is a Stepped Stretch LYCRA elastane blend made from 47% polyester, 30% nylon, 20% polyurethane and 3% elastane. Inside, a merino-wool-blend lining adds excellent warmth. Because the waterproof membrane sits within the layered build, these gloves are meant for cold, wet days on the slopes rather than dry, mild weather.

The palms are polyurethane suede with localized pressure point padding, and the index fingers are reinforced for lasting grip and control. That matters when you are gripping poles, buckles or straps all day. The index fingers and thumbs are touch-screen compatible, so a quick check of your phone or a message does not mean pulling a glove off.

There are also PU wipes on the thumbs, a practical spot for clearing snow or moisture from your goggles without stopping. Tuck a spare pair in your jacket pocket for long days when one pair gets damp. Together, the grip, lining and waterproof build make these a solid pick for skiing and snowboarding.
